<p>Of the schools you listed you should have very little trouble getting into all but HYP (unless you did like HPME at Northwestern, Huntsman at UPenn's Wharton, etc etc) - not to say you WON'T get in, but that you shouldn't be SURE of getting into those.</p>

3

<p>^^^^^^ very kind of you to say that..m not applying to Hunstman or HPME</p>

<p>and i forgot to add my TOEFL scores - 114/120..</p>

<p>Please chance everyone..muchas gracias</p>

<p>see there are hundreds of Indian kids applying with higher scores
better ECs</p>

<p>now is there something which you have which'll make the adcoms sit up and take notice

maybe ur ec's</p>

<p>im not saying you dont have a chance
everyone does
its just that HYP is a crapshoot so apply anyways</p>

<p>as for northwestern penn cornell
yes you have a pretty good chance</p>

<p>What's the name of your rock band? You sound pretty legit.</p>

<p>@ rioben : my band's called Nemesis..we are a 5 year old pro.rock band which covers a lot of Floyd, Led Zep, and other great classic rock bands, apart from OC's..what do u reckon about my chances??</p>

<p>Wait…</p>

<p>If I am not wrong, from your scores above, I can make inference that you did not take any subject tests in the field of science?
It is a requirement by Princeton as far as I recall.</p>
